Abstract

Carapace is a graphical user interface environment suitable for use with statistical software such as MacAnova or R. It uses the wxWidgets library to provide input/output windows, graphics windows, user-specified menus and modal dialog boxes, and dynamic interactive graphics with native look and feel on Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux-GTK. MacAnova versions 5.00 and later use Carapace. In this talk, I will describe what Carapace can do for you and how to use Carapace. I will also compare and contrast Carapace with some other Gui projects for R that were developed over the same time period as Carapace.
